NASA's LEXI Mission: X-ray Imaging from the Moon to Predict Geomagnetic Storms
NASA's Lunar Environment X-ray Instrument (LEXI) is gearing up for its mission to study Earth's magnetosphere from the Moon's surface. This cutting-edge technology will launch aboard Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lander, using X-ray imaging to observe Earth's magnetic shield and improve geomagnetic storm predictions—a crucial advancement for satellite and ground infrastructure protection.
